OTHER SERVICES.

A great plumber went over from this
city to attend the services At Trinity
church. Davenport. The edlfce was
crowded, and the singing BY the famous
Rock Island quartette, with Prof Bowl
by as organist, composing the present
Trinity choir The music rendered on
this occasion was the richest ever heard
in the three cities, People unable to
gain sdmittance stood on the sidewalk
outside enraptured by tie delightful
sounds that came from within. One
man sitting in a buggy in front
of the church called TO an
usher and throwing him a i've dollar
gold piece said; That is the most glorious
music evei heard west of Buffalo. Put
this on the plate when it comes around.
A church that can furnish a choir such
as that is deserving of something more

THE SIR KNIGHTS SERVICE.

One of the most attractive features of
the days observations was the Sir
Knights Easter service at Grace cathedral.
Davenport, participated in by St. SIMON
of Cyrene commanderv Of Davenport,
and Everts commandery of this city.
The exercises were conducted by Bishop
Perry, acting as prelate, in accordance
with ritaa! prepared by him with espec
ial fitness for the occasion. The Knights
appeared in full regalia, and marched
into the church while the choir sang the
professional hymn. Brightly Cleans
our Banner" The services were
solemn, impressive and interest
ing. On either side of the
chancel we're the banners of the order
The responsive portions of the service
were recited alternately by Bishop Perry
and the Sir Knights and congregation.
The hymns had been selected with ap-
propIldtiOn 10 Tut tCCdolou, anu VIII
beautifully rendered.
The sermon was preached by Bishop
Perry. 1t was an able and eloquent dis
course, in which the relation of Chris
tianity to knighthood was clearly OUT
lined. The religion of chivalry. the
bishop said, was founded on
the cross. He spoke of the
knightly obligations of the order to
the Christianity of Christ. In the dimly
lighted chamber of mystery, the light OF
heaven should not be excluded. la all
the mysteries to be solved by kpighIhood
the teachings Of truth and Immortality
should rot ne neglected. The bisho |
showed That in the generous enthusiasm
of chivalry, knights must be valiant
magnanmous and industrious. not for
getting their higher duties of Chr stianity
The cross was alluded to in the motto
In Roc SIgRo Vinces" and If this motto
was rs fondly cherished as it should bt
then the purposes of the order would bt
fulfilled.
EVerts commandety attracted much
attention by the large number in line, anc
their maraet of marching in and out OF
the cathedral.
